You guys have profile pictures?
Only Flying Squid and Margot Robbie have profile pictures and I refuse to acknowledge anyone else’s.
What about ThePicardManeuver?!
Hey, I have a profile picture now. :)
Nice!
Thank you.
Didn’t knew it was thing, now I have one too :D
Welcome to the club, bud 👍
Yes (please look at mine I really want everyone to look at mine)
Did you draw it? If so, that’s neat
I did! It was made with inkscape
Woomy
Impressive!
I checked it out! I have avatars disabled. Didn’t even know they were a thing. I can confidently say; yours is the best avatar on Lemmy that I have ever seen! audience clapping
How do you enable them on Voyager?
Oh. Rip.
I don’t see a way to do this in the settings.
I can’t even see that shit in voyager and happy for it
Yes, and Banners too, banners are the true way to measure a lemmy user.
What I really need is a huge “signature” panel under every comment I make.
Every once in awhile I visit an old forum that allowed obnoxiously long signatures with huge banners and gifs in them. I won’t miss that.
I forgot they were a thing because my app has them off lol
Do we really have profile pictures? I didn’t know that
It’s the main way I recognise regular posters
That seems short sighted, for example the very popular voyager client doesn’t show any profile pictures. I wasn’t even aware those are a thing. I dont want one either though.
It’s just easier to notice than a name, but some users have eye catching names too, some use emojis for example.
And that’s why I’ll never add one.
It seems like a lot of ppl don’t know that haha
Well, they don’t show up in the app I use (except when I post or comment and I see mine).
Avatars and banners
I don’t see them on my client, but I remember I set one up on web when I first opened my account.
Well, here’s how yours looks on my client:
Cool, I kind of wish voyager showed the profile pics now
Ye
It’s neat
yep, we do. Mine is of a doggie
Yep
I don’t know about you but I do have a profile picture
Who tf wants to see profile pics
There are profile pics on Lemmy? Why would anyone want that?
How do I set one in Voyager?
I don’t think it’s supported yet. but you could sign in to the website for others using different frontends to see.
I’ve been using them a lot and I will say that it makes Identifying people way easier. I notice “regulars” now way more than before because of their unique pp. Whether that’s a good thing or not I’ve no idea.
I don’t mind identifying people based on their unique pp but I find that quite NSFW
I knew someone would make that joke when I posted that comment.
Sigh…unzips
To be fair your comment begged for that joke and I absolutely had to take that freebie ;)
I find over half the people that do it are unhinged, so it’s a great way to weed out undesirables as I browse. I love the block function.
Thank you to all the blocked people who expressed their mental illness or skewed views of reality so thoroughly.
(Ps: they can still read my comments, but I can’t see theirs, except as a reply that never shows up… it fills me with warmth)
100% of people who have one of those stupid anime avatars are insane.
It’s a useful anti bot tool.
No it’s not
Ah, I didn’t realize we haven’t reached the point with AI where they can download and upload images.
Why the fuck are so many people scared of AI? Lol fucking idiots.
Damn! He’s here?!? RichardRealName is my nemesis!
We must keep you two apart at all costs.
Also, I’m on your side. He sounds like a real dick.
Sus!!
Don’t hate on 3 word names. We exist and our feelings are valid, damnit! 😭
Hey, I have some trouble reading this image with my humany eyes.
Can you help me read its content ?
::squints::
“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty…”
Gerber lobotomies!
Edit: oh wait I’m just Denvil here, thought I was still DenvilTheAwesome, my Reddit username ._.
stop spam read books
Oh damn, that was not my intention
It’s okay… sniff We’re used to it…
There, there, buddy. You don’t have to listen to all the hate. Just screen the hate from your life. Put a big ole metal grating in front of the flow of pejoratives and catch them before they hit your brain space.
… A hate grate?
Phew, I have a 2 word username. I’m safe!
Don’t forget RandomNonsenseWords2404
Oh yeah, those are big words coming from such an obvious banana.
I’m tired of all these fruitman accounts.
This is an anti-fruitman account, good sir. I demand you desist with those slurs against my good name.
Watch out, he might set up a vegetable man argument next! 🥸
But only the early gang can have the cool nicks
Are you telling me AcFgGeRHo2RtG2F765YRhj isn’t a cool username?
Names with numbers in them are such obvious bots.
Especially when they appear in chronological order
Or even numerical order!
Any order really let’s be real
ReallyValidName
OP, your nick is literally Rolfmasterbigpimp
I don’t see any Problem 🥸
Personally would’ve preferred RolfMasterBigPimp
Says the banana
Did you trick Dacy?
Absolutely.
Are you a slime?
PascalCase my beloved 💗
TIL about profile pics lmao
Has Lemmy finally made it? We are big time now?
Not quite yet, but yeah, probably gonna be “big time” soon if I had to guess. Reddit is inaccessible through a VPN (while logged out) now, so it’s basically dead at this point.
That’s what everyone said nine months ago when they blocked API access, and all third party phone apps stopped working.
They still seem to be doing fine over there.
Currently there doesn’t seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually
Pfp? Well I missed a memo. Seem to be fine without one though since I didn’t even know that was a thing.
Same. I only browse on mobile, and it doesn’t show pfps.

I am a rueal heuman trush me.
Rural juror?
Rrrjrrr
Making me realize I never set up a profile
I never set up a profile in 7 or 8 years on reddit, I’ll be damned if I start now.
Shit I need to make a profile pic now
Fuck that. Never needed one on reddit, won’t get one here. Why? I don’t expect or particularly want people to interact with my profile.
I feel attacked.
